JPH05184763A - Vortex type electric washing machine - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a vortex type electric washing machine by which washing cloths are hardly damaged and entangled. CONSTITUTION:A net cage 16 containing cloths is attached in the inside of a washing tub 11. Although the mixed water with detergents or rinse water in the washing tub 11 generates a vortex flow when a pulsator is actuated, the cloths in the net cage 16 is stuck to the net cage 16 and do not substantially transfer. As a result, washing and rinsing are substantially conducted by the cleaning action both with a cleanzer or rinsing water in the standstill condition of the cloths and fluidizing of the mixed water with detergents or the rinsing water.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a spiral electric washing machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a spiral electric washing machine has a pulsator (rotary blade) at the bottom of a washing tub, and a turbulent impact caused by a vortex flow of laundry detergent mixed water generated by the pulsator and a detergent. While washing is performed by its own washing action, rinsing is performed by the impact of the vortex of the rinse water and the rinsing action of the rinse water itself.

[0003]

However, this spiral electric washing machine has a problem that the laundry is liable to be damaged and entangled easily because the impact of the swirling flow of the detergent mixed water or the rinse water is strong.

In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a spiral electric washing machine in which laundry is less likely to be damaged and entangled.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the above object is achieved by a spiral electric washing machine in which a laundry storage basket is mounted in a washing tub.

[0006]

In the spiral electric washing machine of the present invention, when the pulsator is operated while the laundry is placed in the net basket, the detergent mixed water or rinse water in the washing tub generates a vortex by the pulsator. However, the laundry in the basket does not move substantially by adhering to the basket, that is, the laundry is not caught in the swirl of the detergent mixed water or rinse water,
It has been found that the washing or rinsing is performed by the washing action of the detergent or the rinsing action of the rinsing water and the flow of the detergent mixed water or the rinsing water when the laundry is substantially stationary.

Although the mechanism of immobility of the laundry in the electric washing machine of the present invention due to the adhesion of the laundry to the basket is not clear, at least the centrifugal force component of the vortex of the detergent-mixed water or the rinse water and the wetting of the laundry to the basket. It is considered that the adhesive force is involved.

In the electric washing machine of the present invention, a detergent having a strong cleaning action can be used to shorten the washing time.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, as shown in the drawings, for example, a drain port 13 connected to a pulsator 12 and a drain hose 14 at the bottom.
And a rectangular tubular washing tub 11 of a spiral electric washing machine having an overflow port 15 connected to a drain pipe (not shown) in the upper portion thereof, a rectangular tubular plastic net or stainless steel net. The basket 16 can be implemented in the form of being concentrically attached via a plurality of suction cups 17 and the like attached to the outside thereof.

In addition, the present invention can be carried out in various forms such as using a perforated cylinder having a large number of holes in the peripheral wall and the bottom wall as the net basket.

[0011]

As is apparent from the above, according to the spiral electric washing machine of the present invention, since the laundry is not subjected to the impact of the swirling flow of the detergent-mixed water and the rinse water, the laundry is damaged, There is no fear of getting entangled.
